i dont know if anyone has mentioned the ralliart colt turbz or the renault clio sport??

i miss my GTiR, it fkn owned evyrthing on the road. :D

a friend is selling a Renaultsport clio 172, it needs a few things for roadworthy though and it scares me as I have no idea what parts for them cost

^Parts from the UK I imagine, are extremely cheap...

But I don't feel like fixing a "newish" car every other week...

yeah Anna would hit the f**king roof if the car we ended up with needed fixing as often as the GTR lol

that honda definatly looks like a whales mouth, wouldnt touch a vw as servicing and parts are a joke, dont even think about an astra vxr, never seen a car with so many problems in my life, the mazda is cool, but my vote goes out to the xr5 with leather, nice quick little cars out of the box, nice big 5 cyl engine and an all round cool car, black with black leather.

Boring, whale mouth?

I was meaning Mechanically. Acceleration figues, comfort and space are all up to the mark, I dont like how they look that much but I dont really give a shit as I have my GTR for when I feel like driving a car that I like the look of!

Good cars. Go around corners and brake very well.

Mine has a Group N ecu and an exhaust. Has done 14.2 1/4 mile at the motorplex. 6-ish L / 100km. Fun to drive , even around town.

For the dollars they are good value performance. Being a very light car, relative cheap tyre and brake costs for track day use.

and there you have it, the clios handle well and stuff..

of course they have a funny shaped sump plug that you need a special tool for, its square or so i've heard, and then, you need the computer to reset the bloody "service your car" notification, or is that only for the 2006 and up renaults?

Whats the reliability like? What ever car we get will be doing a lot of short trips around town for Annas business. Her being able to jump in it and get where she is going everytime is really important too.

At this point we are leaning towards the SP23. Anna likes the huge amount of room it has. The seats are comfy, the aircon is good as is the sound system (Compared to the GTR with no radio or aircon it is heaven) and the performance is good enough too.

yeah the only thing missing on the sp23 is a turbo :laugh:

other than that its a great little well equiped car..the missus and I were almost convinced to buy one till we realized we could buy a fully optioned luxury Accord for the same money..

yeah accord would be nice, but Anna is pretty set on a hatch, And I can see why, some of the stuff she has to cart around is pretty big.

back seats fold down in accord :P

but I understand the mazda is more a young persons car, its very trendy these days..we cop some flac for having an old peoples car but its a dream to drive and was owned by a grandpa churchgoer before us..the stereo was disconnected due to his religous beliefs...

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
